Picked Colonies

  • Date: June 4, 2013
  • Picked 10 colonies from each plate
  • Grew over night in LB and mini prepped
  • PCR-ed with VF2 and VR primers, no results as shown
  • Gel on June 4, 2013
  • Picked 6 Oxytocin colonies and 5 NEC1 colonies grew overnight in LB – mini prepped and restricted all colonies picked so far at E, P cute sites and ran on gel, results concluded as ligations did not work since a band is seen at ~500 bp size of the promoter construct K314100 but not with oxytocin or NEC1
  • Gel on June 4, 2013

    2 Cbf5-Nop10-Gar1 20μL
    3 Buffer A wash 30μL
    4 Buffer B wash 30μL

Anti-His Slot Blot

  • Date: June 21, 2013
  • Lane # Contents
    Lane 1: 100μL Oxytocin in 200μL TBS
    Lane 2: 200μL Oxytocin in 100μL TBS
    Lane 3: 250μL Oxytocin in 50μL TBS
    Lane 4: 300μL Oxytocin
    Lane 5: 25pM TruB-His positive control

    • We used a 25pM sample of the protein TruB with a histidine tag which is seen in lane 5. In lanes 1,2,3 and 4, faint bands are seen on the slot blot. This is indicative of the histidine tag attached to Oxytocin-NeurophysinI.
